You should think of the internet like a separate continent.
Imagine this separate continent filled with musicians
and amateur bedroom recordists that need a polished
touch to their mixes. Portfolio websites aren't exclusive
to the web development or graphic design community.
There are plenty of opportunities to be had with online
mixing. It's competitive but it's easy to set up and
start, especially if you already have a mixing station
or studio at home.

The music industry
is an exciting and rough road to get to. There are many
challenges just like any other job. One problem is that
too many focus on just making music but do not give anytime
to market themselves. How are you suppose to get noticed
for your music if you are not selling yourself to the people?
This is very important if you want to achieve your dream
for being a music producer.

Reggae music first developed in Jamaica
in the 1960s, building on the foundations of the ska and
rocksteady genres. The term first appeared in print with
the 1968 hit "Do the Reggay" by Toots and the
Maytals, though there are many conflicting theories as
to where the word came from, including the creeping sound
of the actual rhythm. The music is characterized by rhythmic
accents on the off-beat, drum accent on beat three, slower
tempos than ska and syncopated, melodic bass lines.

After working with countless acts from
America's Got Talent, top TV talent and as a former talent
booking agent for one of the largest talent booking agencies
in the world, there are a few things that I've learned through
the years. Best isn't always best, and those who deserve
it, quite often don't make it for a number of reasons.

Over the years as
a former talent booking agent for the William Morris Agency,
working on Grammy nominated productions and having been
involved in countless recording sessions, I've been asked
this question quite often - "How do I get a hold of
great songs and how does so and so get that clear but punchy
radio sound?" While not every part of that question
can be answered with certainty, because luck and timing
do play into the equation on the artistic side, there are
some absolutes that we should look at if you are asking
a similar question.
